Double Exposure (2007)
Monochrome Volumes (2007) consists of 4 identical cubic wooden boxes fixed side by side to a wall. Each box has a surface measure of 70 x 70 x 70 cm. The bottom, top, and the sides of the surfaces of boxes are painted with a nonreflecting white grounder. The front of each box is sealed with a 3 mm transluscent acrylic sheets. The inside walls of the boxes are covered with white boards on the top, bottom, sides and on the back. The inner volumes of the boxes are individually set apart because the back board inside each box is fixed in different distances to the front acrylic fronts creating four differentiated inner volumes. A special phenomena occurs by the use of the translucent acrylic fronts on the boxes with variable inner spaces. The acrylic refracts the light (natural sun light, artificial or a combination) that naturally shines through it, throws it into the inner space of the box as a diffuse light. Not being able to see the inner space of the box, the viewer perceives a reflection of its volume in the acrylic in the form of a two dimensional, vibrant, monochrome spatial surface.

»Legacy« (2005) is a 21-foot-long rainbow made of cast street sweepings that emerges from a planter on MetroTech Commons in Brooklyn. The rainbow’s seven bands range in tone from brown to gray, and are flecked with color. They are cast from actual debris collected on seven consecutive days by the city’s street sweeping machines: dirt, grit, gravel, gum wrappers, bottle caps, socks, plastic combs, and whatever other litter the sweeper picked up during the course of a day. There is a small bronze beard that appears to be crawling out of the hole in the ground where the rainbow emerges. By Corin Hewitt.
9 Was 6 If. The two chairs change in colour every 4th minute. What looks like two ordinary chairs on display, is in fact two totally modified replicas holding an internal water system. This allows the chairs to change in temperature, as cold or hot water is pumped through their system. The changing temperature affects the surface of the chairs, coated with thermochrome (heat-reacting) paint. When the chair is cold, it is black, but when heated up it turns white. By Christian Andersson.
